The little speech you had prepared where you explained Zoe about how you were willing to shrink yourself in order to win back her love was quickly forgotten because now you were in untreaded territory. You just didn't know what to say to the person who opened the package and was looking down at you with a shocked expression. 

 

"Who are you?" The redhead girl asked, tilting her head a bit and apparently not recognizing you.

 

"Hi Roxy, it's Jack.. remember me?" You tried very cautiously, fear present in your voice. Despite hanging out with your ex girlfriend's bestie a couple of times the truth was that you never really knew how did she feel about you. Did she like you? Did she support your relationship with Zoe? Did she support Zoe dumping you when she found out you cheated? You just never had that conversation where you two broke the ice so to speak.

 

"Zoe's ex? What are you doing..like this?" She narrowed her eyes at you which wasn't a great sign, but at least she was more curious with the situation than angry at you which was good. The problem now was explaining this to her without revealing Zoe's secret.

 

"Well I..I wanted to talk with Zoe and she wasn't having it so I tried to do it this way and...wait, why did you open the package?" You tried to give a convincing reason to explain yourself but this was all you could come up with, something that didn't leave your ex looking great and something that wasn't really true.

 

Zoe did talk with you after the breakup and cordially explained to you why your affair was a dealbreaker for her. That was the real reason you wasted so much money and time searching for a shrinking potion that actually worked and elaborated this crazy plan to try and win her back.

 

"The package said it was for Zoe but this is my house. You don't even know her address then?" She frowned a bit wondering the same as you, how could you have made such a blunder? 

 

"I'm pretty sure I told her the correct address.. whoa!" you muttered to yourself but lost your balance as you noticed the box suddenly started floating, and your perspective changing from Roxy's face to the white ceiling of her bedroom.

 

"That handwriting, this is Lydia's!" You heard Roxy say to your surprise, did Roxy and your friend knew each other?

 

The box was lowered and you lost your balance again as Roxy's face reappeared in the sky, this time with a knowing smile.

 

"I wanted to buy some jewelry from Lydia but it seems there was a mix up and I got.. you" she said with an amused tone that frustratingly still didn't reveal how she felt about the entire situation and your relationship with Zoe. At least you now knew why the mix up happened and sighed with relief thinking it could have been a lot worse, what if you ended up at the hands of a woman you didn't know at all?

 

"I see.. so could you take me back to her?" You finally asked, scratching your head and still feeling the fear of being unable to tell how Roxy feels about you

What happens next?
